Brightly colored lobster traps and harbor view, Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, Bernard Maine
Standing Tall by Fremme

Took this while in Monument Valley at the very end of the day as you can tell by the shadow and the colors here, this is straight out of the camera, no adjustments what so ever. Thought it showed the effect of time ans weather on very old standing rocks which have seen and survived the test of time. / Canon Xt, 70 to 200mm lens at dusk. / AS is, no changes done here, natural light at dusk.

Mornin' Sam...Mornin' Ralph by Chris Snyder

When I saw this I just couldn’t help but think about the old cartoon. Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park.
Gregg-Cable House by Gary L. Suddath

This house was built around 1879 by Leason Gregg. It is thought to be the 1st frame houses built in the cove. It has been shifted and added to over the years. Besides being a home, it has also been a boarding house and store on the 1st floor. Leason bought an acre of land from John P. Cable and built the house. Lumber for its building was sawn on the place. In 1887 Rebecca Cable and her brother Dan bought the place. Rebecca died in 1940 at 96. After her death the house was moved from Forge Creek Road to its present location……This place is found about half way around the Cades Cove Loop Road, GSMNP. Several other structures are located her as well as Cable’s gristmill. A visitor center is also located on the property…..When the park took over they were several frame houses in the cove and park. Since these were NEW houses at the time they were removed.

Golden Morn II by Gary L. Suddath

Early Appalachian life must have been filled with golden mornings. Wonder how often they would pause from their chores, and just drink in the glorious light filtering through the fog. Stopped and gave thanks to God for his blessings and felt at awe with his creation. Wonder how often they knew they had found their pot of gold. Not in a monetary sense, but in the riches of life. They struggled from day to day but how often did they rejoice at what they were blessed with. The coolness of the mist upon their face. The warmth of the sun as it forged its way through the fog. The sounds of nature as she too is awakening to greet the morn. Wonder how rich they may have felt seeing the warm glow softly lighting the fruits of their labor. You too can feel this. You too can feel awakened and renewed with the dawn, if only willing to experience it. Visit and help preserve that which we are blessed with.……Image taken at the Mountain Farm Museum, GSMNP

A Different View by Justin Mair

When I visit the Alabama Hills I often set myself up facing the Sierra Nevada mountains since they create a nice background. I rarely shoot facing the other side of Owens Valley. Well, here’s that view. You can spot Heart Arch if you recognize it.
Unnamed Peak, McGee Canyon by Justin Mair

This is a subpeak of Mount Morgan I guess, it’s unnamed. I was driving down a dirt road that leads into the canyon and the early morning shadows on this mountain just drew me in. I got out and took quite a few photos trying to capture it best. I think B&W works well with such a contrasty scene.
Smoky Mountain Rain by Gary L. Suddath

A shower before the storm in the Great Smoky Mountains. This was made from the breezeway or dog-trot of Ephraim Bales Cabin, located along the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. Two types of fencing can also be seen in the picture. A rock wall on the left and a wooden picket fence on the right. The sound of the rain falling in the forest was as relaxing for me as it was for Ephraim over a hundred years ago.

Red Mountain Dawn by DawsonImages

To catch the sun rising over the mountain requires a 3AM wakeup call 2 hour drive and a short 1 mile hike to waters edge. In my book worth it! Dawn illuminates the cloud-capped peak of Mt. Rainier as it reflects in the the still waters of Bench Lake
